Escama Studio

Sustainable fashion brand based in San Francisco and Brazil. Our mission is to create innovative fashion accessories from recycled materials while promoting sustainable development through trade. The word 'Escama' means 'fish scales' in Portuguese; the name was chosen because our flagship product - crocheted accessories with post consumer pull tabs - appear as if they're made from big metallic scales of a fish. To achieve our unique aesthetic, the Escama Studio team adapted traditional Brazilian crochet work and imbued the handmade crafts with a modern design sense and new materials. With designs originating from both San Francisco and Brazil, the pop top bags are handmade in Brazil by artisan groups who are not just contract manufacturers, but an integral part of Escama Studio. Escama Studio is a green company, a fair trade company and an ongoing experiment in sustainability. We measure our success by the strength of our partnerships with producers in underprivileged communities and by the sense of wonder that our products bring to our fans worldwide. We are all sincerely grateful for every customer who loves these handbags and supports this venture.
